Maybe the Fleet Foxes Should Record a Song for the Sounders?

Posted by on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 4:16 PM

Swedish pop-punk band Millencolin has been asked to record the official song for Swedish soccer team, Örebro. It's, appropriately, titled "Örebro."

Shouldn't the Sounders have a song too? I say yes! Now to decide who should write/record it... I nominate Boat! They could even just do a little tampering with "Come With Me, We'll Win" and call it a day.

I think Akimbo should do it. The Sounders need to strike fear and horror into the hearts of their competition.

BOAT should totally do that! Start a petition!

Murder City Devils, they come closest to the drunk and rowdy you need, it's that or horrible euro-trash...

I think even the Fleeties would admit that they'd not be good candidates to write an energetic sports anthem.

U.S.E. might be up for the task. Wondervocoder activate!

I think Little Party and the Bad Business are the correct band to write a song for the Sounders.

Remember the Sir Mix A Lot song for the sonics? that was great!

U.S.E., totally. Hell, they can just re-record Emerald City, toss in a few soccer references, and it'd be perfect.

The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players. It'd be a multimedia extravaganza! Sounders games aren't carried on KEXP, are they?

@11 ftw. Exactly what I came to post. Although, the idea of a Murder City Devils Sounders song sounds pretty awesome too. Maybe even Wild Orchid Children.

@19 The Saturday Knights is an excellent suggestion!

Drew Carey is an owner, why not just use POTUSA's cover of "Cleveland Rocks"?

Get it... because it's ironic.

I can't believe no one has suggested Truckasaurus yet.

Tractor Sex Fatality, obviously.

Pearl Jam is obviously the band to record such a song!

Mad Rad is still allowed at Qwest, right? Those guys needs a venue!

Big Business is the obvious choice here, people. Come on now. (Although I guess they're technically an LA band now.)
Posted by Maybe the Melvins could record something too. on May 12, 2009 at 12:52 PM
mackro 28
Yeah, it's either two options:

U.S.E. "IT IS ON!"
Big Business "Just As The Day Was Dawning"

Maybe both at the same time.

Someone told me Saturday Knights were in process with it.
